Schelia was born March 2, 1953, in Amherst, Texas, to Doyle Black and Jodi (Miller) McGee.  She was raised by Doyle and Theta Black. On January 30, 1971, Schelia married the love of her life, Larry Vrubel, in Bethel, New Mexico and they were married over 51 years.  Schelia worked as a U.S. Postal Clerk in many area post offices, including Spade, Olton, and Abernathy. Schelia was community service minded and was active in each community she was a part of.  A talented painter, Schelia also enjoyed gardening and canning.  Faith was important to her and she was a voracious reader. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her three parents and a sister, Pam Moore.
